Mainers deserve to cast their own Electoral College votes for president, and should not have their voice taken from them by binding our state's Electoral College votes to the winner of the National Popular Vote (NPV). This would effectively steal Mainers' voice in presidential elections and give it to the residents of the most populated states and cities. Not only does the Electoral College protect Maine's individual interest in presidential elections, it helps protect against election fraud and abuse. The Constitution empowers states to decide for themselves how to select their Electors. This ensures elections are conducted at the state level. That means election shenanigans in one state only affect the results of that state. Under the scheme of the NPV compact, election fraud in one state spoils the results of the lot -- fraud anywhere becomes fraud everywhere. The Electoral College was designed to preserve the voice of each state and to give them individual representation in selecting our nation's president. It gives candidates and campaigns reason to visit Maine -- to earn our votes. Under the NPV scheme, a presidential candidate need only to win the votes of a small handful of cities throughout the country to secure the presidency, wiping out Maine and other rural state's voice and influence. Please vote "Ought Not to Pass" on LDs 1330 and 1384 to protect Maine's voice in presidential elections.
